Our semiconductor business, for example, is set to return to the black this year with 150 billion yen in profit, thanks to the rise of dual-camera smartphones propelling sales of camera sensors. But Sony is behind the ball on 3-D sensors, a field where features such as facial recognition are expected to create new demand. We plan to catch up by developing new offerings with a Belgian company we purchased in 2015.

At our gaming business, sales of the PlayStation 4 are strong heading into the holidays. But we can't ignore the Nintendo Switch, which has also captured consumers' attention. Our business model involves selling both the game console and the software for it, so we're working to get more customers paying continuously for content, for example through paid subscription services.

sony is watching nintendo like a person looking at the empire state building LOL

well in japan at least.

uhhhhhhh.....i think both company's have tremendous respect for each other. both do things differently. both provide amazing games. one is just mobile the other isnt. i mean you can always play out what ever scenario u want in ur head but i doubt its true

why? people pay "continuously" for great services they enjoy. i pay continuously for netflix and spotify because those are great. i don't play for psn plus or playstation now continously tho, but hey if sony want to try and make better/worthy services good for them, hopefully they can come up with something good.

First Of All Nintendo Is King In Japan And States I Mean Look At 3DS , Wii , Wii U And Switch Sales . Second : Sony Is New In Game Industry Compare to Sega , Atari And Nintendo Also Their PS3 Marketing Hurting Their Reputation . Third : PS4 Exclusive Have Not Seen Significant Sales Since Launch Of Console ( Except Uncharted 4) Horizon Zero Down Only Sold 3 Million Copies After 8 Month , Even WiiU Had Some 6 to 5 Million Seller (Google It ). Although If You Copmare Sony Wealth ( Around 160 Billion Dollar ) To Nintendo ( 40 Billion Dollar ) You Find Out Sony Have To Pay Attention To Nintendo In Game Industry.

the empire state building cant look at anything though, because its a building 🤔

Security cams bro.

Simple physics of course.

would those cameras still be looking down all the time? And would they be as high too? Would there then be someone looking at the security feed? Are they looking down on the empire state building then? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Judging by SCE's history, they will at the very least build a working prototype. I wouldn't put it past them if they ever revisit the idea of a handheld console.

If anything, I see them wanting to push PSNow further to other Non-Sony devices such as Android Tablets and the iPad if they want to keep up w/the portable space. But yes, another Portable device could be possible due to SCE's record of following the competition.

they should consider getting back into the handheld market, one of the biggest differentiating factors the PS4 has that the Xbox doesn't isn't just it's own first party offerings, which IMO haven't been as strong as they have been in past years like they were with the PS2, but mainly I'm talking about third party Japanese developer support, with the Nintendo Switch selling so well, if the Japanese gaming market centers its attention on it, on Sony's console end of things we might see a drop in support of those kinds of Japanese games one would play on a Sony console as publishers and developers might move to the Switch

They kinda already started, I think you can now (or soon) play PS games via streaming and I heard they were going to add PS4 games to the bunch too.
